Is RJ Barrett really this efficient? And fun with other small sample new-look Raptors stats w/ Keerthika Uthayakumar

Episode 1568

In Episode 1554, Sean Woodley is joined by Keerthika Uthayakumar (TSN, Every Good Raptors Stat On Twitter) to dive into some small sample stats from the Toronto Raptors first six games since trading OG Anunoby for Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, and examine whether or not they are legit, or due for serious regression in the days and weeks to come. Off the top, Sean and Keerthika dig into the Raptor's Top-5 offense in the month of January, whether it has to juice to hang that high for the remainder of the season, and how the new additons have changed the complexion of Toronto's attack before taking a look at RJ Barrett's ridiculous shooting splits and their viability going forward as Barrett continues to shine in a simplified role. Next, they chat about the Raptors' ridiculously high assist totals and whether the team can sustain its extremely high rate of assisting on made buckets, as well as Dennis Schroder's unbelievably good on/off splits in his new sixth man role. Lastly, Keerthika brings forward a stat about the domination of any Raptors lineup that features both Schroder and Quickley, while Sean poses a question about the Raptors' offensive rebounding -- once a major area of focus that has dropped off to bottom-five levels since the trade. Is that just what happens when your offense scores on the first look at a way higher rate?
